Description

Nov. 10, 1931.
D. DREIER POWER WATER WHEEL Filed Nov. 25, 1930 Clue mam Patented Nov. 10, 1931 UNITED STATES PATENT. OFFICE DOMINICK DREIER, OF LIVINGSTON, MONTANA, ASSIGNOR OF TWENTY-FIVE PER' CENT TO EDWARD E. GRABOW, 0F LIVINGSTON, MONTANA 'rownn WATER WHEEL Application filed November 25,1930. Serial No. 498,156.
This invention aims to provide a water wheel which will float in the water and be capable of being turned by the current, the wheel being of peculiar efliciency and being capable of operating at Various angles in the water, it being possible to join together a number of unit water wheels, where an increase in power is desired.
It is within the province of the disclosure to improve generally, and to enhance the utility of devices of that type to which the present invention appertains.
With the above and other objects in View which will appearas the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes inthe precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed may be made within the scope of what is claimed without departing from the spirit of the invention.
In the accompanying drawings:
Figure 1 shows in elevation, a device constructed in accordance with the invention, parts being broken away;
' Figure 2 is a section on the line 22 of Figure 1; A
Figure 3 is a section on the line 83 of Figure 1; I
Figure 4 is a longitudinal section of one of the blades.
The wheel forming the subject matter of this application, preferably is made of metal. It comprises any desired number of longitudinal, spirally arranged blades 1, each having a convexed side2 and a concaved side 3, the
axial portion 4 of the wheel being hollow and the blades 1 being hollow and communicating with the axial portion of the wheel to give the wheel buoyancy, so that the wheel can float in the stream. The blades 1 are closed at their ends, as shown at 6, and disk-like heads 7 close the ends of the axial portion of the wheel. The numeral 5 indicates that the blades 1 are hollow as aforesaid.
The water wheel is further characterized by the fact that, as shown in Figure 4, the
blades 1 taper from one end to the other in a direction parallel to the axis of rotation of the wheel, the axis of the wheel being'represented by a shaft 8 which may be mounted securely in the heads 7.
The water wheel is further characterized by the fact that the convexed side 2 of one blade and the concaved side 3 of an adjoining blade are fashioned in a single sheet of material as shown at 9, the sheets being joined together along the outer edges of theblades 1, as indicated by the numeral 10.
The wheel will support itself in the water, because the wheel is buoyant, and the current of the stream will rotate it, the wheel of course, being restrained for rotation about an axis represented by the shaft 8. In the event an increase of power is desired, any preferred number of water wheels, constructed in accordance with the invention, may be fastened together, end for end, on the shaft 8.
l/Vhat is claimed is:
A water wheel comprising longitudinal, spirally-arranged blades, each having a convexed side and aconcaved side, the axial por tion of the wheel being hollow, and the blades being hollow and communicating with the axial portion of the wheel, the convexed side of one blade merging by an easy reversed curve into the concaved side ofan' adjoining blade adjacent to one end of the wheel, said curve being gradually changed into a pronounced angle at the opposite end of the wheel, to give the blades a longitudinal taper, 7
